OK I am here at the federal courthouse in Orange County for the third day of testimony in Michael Avenatti’s client theft trial. I’ll be tweeting updates on this thread. 🧵

There was some discussion a few minutes ago outside the jury about transcripts from Avenatti's judgment debtor exams, which we'll be seeing as evidence later. Judge Selna is off the bench now and nothing more is expected until 9 a.m. when the jury gets seated.

When they're not in court, Avenatti and Dean Steward and another lawyer, Courtney Cummings Cefali, are in a conference room connected to a courtroom down the hallway. There are two conferences rooms connected to this courtroom, but no one is using them. (More privacy down hall.)

Here's a dilemma..

You see a cute bird. And you see a cute kid. Then you see the kid kill the bird with this slingshot. Will you punish the kid?

This is very common in many villages in Nashik. It leads to empty forests - no birds, no chirping, no singing.
Only silence!

So how to make these innocent kids stop using galor (slingshot)?

By talking to each child.
By telling each kid how painful it is.
By making them promise never to use again.
By nudging them to "voluntarily #surrender Galor"

In short, by winning their hearts! ❤️
